One snag regarding Eureka that Free Trial players may want to keep in mind: You will not be able to use /shout in Eureka, which will make communicating to someone that you've died and need a revive a bit problematic.

this game have been a huge life saver for me, as someone who is currently in school and cannot afford subscription due to no job and being poor, this game helps with anxiety and stuff.. like its my escape and has helped me a lot. its basically the only game i have on ps5 which my older sister gift me a during the pandemic. i hope the developers will add shadowbinders and keep free trial players in mind during updates.

You're right. A more generous extent in FT is more devastation in their inventory & armory management. However, Eureka is side-content. Maybe they will complete BA & relate questlune once to get Ozma mount and skip it all. Probably..

I have a friend who has been playing for almost 2 years on free trial. He said he would buy the game when he had nothing else to do. I was so close to getting my first referal and getting the twintannia Mount, but now, with stromblood, he will have 2 more years of free content.

I started a free trial account about a year ago and I was about to buy Complete Edition with it's on going sale, but then saw trial extension news on Fanfest live stream... Guess that will have to wait for at least another half a year haha. Please make another updated video with more details once you go trough some content yourself!
@@MagWizz that’s where it gets kinda confusing, the complete edition will most likely be updated to include dawntrail when it comes out but the price will probably go up too.

If you’re still doing the trial by the time it’s out then 100% get the complete edition then but if you feel like you’re done and theres still months before it comes out you can either wait or cave and get the complete edition up to endwalker.
OJoSama: "I've got plans for you, M'naago." Sorry, you cannot glam M'naago when you max out her rank. That's one of the few Custom Delivery characters you are BARRED from dressing up. (The only humanoid one, the others you cannot glam are Ehil Tou, who is a drake, and the bushman guy in Il Mheg because, well, he's a giant bush. Everyone else is fair game. I glammed Adrikagh with an electric blue toad suit. XD)
They are technically Shadowbringer content, so I'm going to say they'll continue to be locked. But the trial had access to Stormblood and Shadowbringer content before, so I wouldn't say it is impossible.
@@ojosama oh, wrong expansion. I read the name starting with an S and immediately assumed it was the expansion with the extra characters. Thanks for clearing things up.
I got to Storm blood on the last 5 days of my free trial. Though I did do a lot of ARR and HW sidequests and their respective raids. If I had focused purely on MSQ I probably would have reached Storm blood sooner
You aren't actually on the Free Trial. The Free Trial is unlimited in playtime. You are on the 30 days of not being charged after you buy the game. In the Free Trial you never purchase them game. Unfortunately that means you are now ineligible to use the free trial unless you make a new account.
How far will the Idyllshire poetics gear from Heavensward carry you into Stormblood? With ARR into HW, my Ironworks poetics gear from ARR carried me no problem up until I was able to purchase the Idyllshire gear. Will the Idyllshire gear last just as long, or should I look into getting replacements at some point during the expansion?
You only start to see ilvl upgrades at 64 and then only by 5 i lvls and its HQ common quality. There is a level 65 dungeon that gives plundered quality gear set at ilvl 276. It's pretty identical for Ironworks gear going into Heavensward. You can get past the first two dungeons without seeing any upgrades. Once you get to the third its' a 6 ilvl increase at plundered quality. But you want brass tax? You don't need to upgrade your armor at all until you hit 60, and 70 respectively, if you use the best tome gear. Because you'll meet all the dungeons ilvl requirements until you get to 60 and 70.
me having both the fully ffxiv account and free trial account , enjoyable experience hehehe might as well start to collect those cards for who knows when they announce shb in trial i would collect those cards then get me that card mount also bunny girl yehaaw my only fantasia in the free trial i'm saving it for good
The only way to do Ultimate raid is to form a pre-party via Party Finder. And you need someone to carry you to clear O4S & O8S once. Oh, and don't forget FT enjoyer can acquire only gear ilv.400 in SB. This is a little disadvantage when compare to lv.90 player with gear ilv.665. But trust me, it's enough for manual-restriction from players at random party finder. Except you have your own party. 😗
Also, I am actually doing a Solo Bard challenge under the Free Trial on my newest PSN account. So far I have gotten to Level 19 in Archer and Level 8 in Botanist, Leatherworker and Carpenter. (I have the Road to 80 buff because I am on Dynamis.)
I hear that Stormblood isn't partial to any job as Heavensward was partial to Dragoon. But the WoL was a Monk in Ala Mhigo and Samuari while in Othard. 🤷♂🤷♂
The canon jobs the WoL uses are: Archer in 1.0, Warrior in ARR, Dragoon in HW, MNK for Ala Mhigo portion of SB and SAM for Othard/Hingashi portions of SB. Putting the other jobs further down. Don't expand this if you want to be surprised. Dark Knight in ShB, Paladin in EW and finally (unconfirmed, but seems likely) Corsair - or some other piratey type job in DT.
Considering that Blue was unlocked already and could be played by the trial players after beating 2.0, and we even got the Firmament unlocked after beating 3.3 despite it having Shadowbringer content I'd say this is extremely unlikely.
